Homero Ortega Hats — Attraction in Cuenca

Take a full factory tour, including the history and fabrication process. The tour was highly informative, first seeing a small museum where you learn about the history and initial process and then you actually walk among the workers in the factory, seeing every step of the finishing process.

At the end of the tour, you are left in the store to shop among all of the various styles, including purses and hats they make. Surprisingly, there were many decently priced options as I expected it to be more expensive.

Great tour and an excellent family...

you would think this place would not be that interesting but it really is... to see how they authentically make the hats right there on the site and all stages...from buying the base hats that were locally-made to bleaching them in big tanks or boiling them in big vats of die...you'll see lots of hats in various states of being made and at the end of course they try to sell you a hat it's really hard to not want one after learning about the hatch you want to wear one out on the...

Absolutely delighted with the quality and design of this timeless product.

As it was raining in Cuenca, we decided to visit the museum and we loved it! The entrance is free and the explanations provided by the guide (no booking required) were really punchy.

As you can imagine, the exit is through the gift shop but who wouldn't love to buy such piece of art up to 10 times cheaper than in Europe??

All the best for la familia Ortega,...
